Художник делится опытом с начинающими и профессиональными художниками, максимально облегчая вход в тему изображения освещения и игры цвета, благодаря которым картина оживает. В книге есть алфавитный указатель и глоссарий, которые помогут освоиться в живописи даже тем, кто впервые задумался над тем, почему одни изображения в книгах выглядят плоскими и неинтересными, а другие наполнены жизнью, даже если художник использует минимум цветов в своей волшебной палитре. Автор охватил множество вариантов освещения, затронул проблемы передачи спектра цветов, и при этом все сведения изложил доступно и кратко.

Unlike many other art books only give recipes for mixing colors or describe step-by-step painting techniques, *Color and Light* answers the questions that realist painters continually ask, such as: "What happens with sky colors at sunset?", "How do colors change with distance?", and "What makes a form look three-dimensional?" Author James Gurney draws on his experience as a plain-air painter and science illustrator to share a wealth of information about the realist painter's most fundamental tools: color and light. He bridges the gap between abstract theory and practical knowledge for traditional and digital artists of all levels of experience.
Autor James Gurney po mnoha letech hledání objevil v antikvariátu dosud neznámý deník cestovatele z 19. století Arthura Denisona. Jeho předchozí líčení cest bylo vydáno pod názvem Dinotopie: Země odloučená od času a Dinotopie: Svět v hloubi. Dinotopie byla představena jako zapomenutý ostrov, na němž žijí dinosauři s lidmi v poklidném souznění.
Po dlhých rokoch hľadania výtvarník James Gurney objavil v antikvariáte zabudnutý cetopisný denník Arthura Denisona, vedca z 19. storočia. Predchádzajúce Denisonove cestovné záznamy vyšli pod názvami Dinotopia: Krajina mimo času, Dinotopia: Podzemný svet. Popisuje v nich zabudnutú ostrovnú krajinu, v ktorej ľudia a dinosaury žijú vo vzájomnom porozumení.
Tentoraz sa profesor Denison a jeho jašteria priateľka Bix vydajú na strastiplné putovanie do zakázanej ríše Chandara. Keďže sa ich pozvánka od vládcu ríše kdesi stratila, musia prekročiť hranice bez peňazí a v prestrojení. Profesor Denison detailne zaznamenáva každý krok ich cesty, každého tvora, osobu, stavbu či udalosť, ktorá ich postretne. Spomína napríklad dedinu pozostávajúcu z troch opretých lodí, päťdesiat stôp vysokého brachiosaura vybaveného na boj s ohňom, allosaura opatrujúceho svoje mláďatá, mladých letcov križujúcich vzduch na obrovských pterosauroch a mnoho iných pozoruhodností.

Ein Forscher und sein Sohn geraten in Seenot. Die beiden landen auf einer geheimnisvollen Insel, auf der Menschen und Dinosaurier einträchtig zusammenleben. - Reich illustrierte, phantastische Geschichte.
When James Gurney's "Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time" first appeared in 1992, it was immediately hailed as a fully imagined world of the caliber of J. R. R. Tolkien's. Gurney's premise -- of an undiscovered island where a race of mystical humans co-exists in harmony with intelligent dinosaurs -- has been since reiterated over and over in numerous films and by scores of other writers. Now, Calla Editions brings Gurney's spectacular artistry to a new generation in this 20th anniversary edition. Digitally re-rendered from the original transparencies, Gurney's dramatic panoramas of Dinotopia and close-up character studies of its inhabitants -- both human and saurian -- take on new vitality. And as a tale of high adventure and discovery told as entries and sketches in journal form, "Dinotopia" presents a shipwrecked visitor's glimpse into an imagined social order, a culture, and even a cooperative interspecies technology that will satisfy lovers of fantasy and science fiction of all persuasions. This edition includes a new Afterword written by author James Gurney as well as a special section of behind-the-scenes studies and maquettes he used in developing his paintings.
